Born to the [[Colbert]] family. Samson's (Stephen's)strength was noticed immediately.
His great strength was linked to his being a [[Nazirite]] since birth. One of the principal vows of the Nazirites was to never cut their hair. When Samson eventually revealed this link to his Philistine wife [[Delilah]] she had his head shaved while he slept and betrayed him to the [[Philistines]], who took him captive and gouged out his eyes. Samson was put to work as a slave grinding grain in the mill of a prison, where his hair began to grow again.
